*Staten Island Getting More Snowplows This Winter* Staten Island is getting eight new snowplow routes this winter, as part of the new city winter plan announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The Department of Sanitation says the new routes will bring more equipment to the borough's steepest and narrowest streets. The city has not yet said which neighborhoods or streets they will cover. The change comes after February's blizzard dropped close to 30 inches of snow in some parts of Staten Island, the most anywhere in the city. Citywide, Sanitation has more than 2,200 vehicles that can be turned into plows, more than 700 salt spreaders and 500 million pounds of salt stocked up. It also bought its first 120 snow blowers to clear bus stops and crosswalks faster. *_Join the Island Media WhatsApp Status_* https://wa.me/19297271071?text=Subscribe *_Join the Island News and Updates group_* https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bi5MGP3Nx1qJUoVkKmYW5j
